 article06_prj.zip - Source Files with Demo Project [28.3 KB]There are many articles about docking toolbars. However, I felt that this was important enough to mention here. The same information can be found at Microsoft's MSDN site. Here it is in a nutshell...
Add the following method to your CMainFrame class:
void CMainFrame::DockControlBarLeftOf( CToolBar* Bar, CToolBar* LeftOf) { CRect rect; DWORD dw; UINT n;
// get MFC to adjust the dimensions of all docked ToolBars // so that GetWindowRect will be accurate RecalcLayout(TRUE);
LeftOf->GetWindowRect(&rect); rect.OffsetRect(1,0); dw=LeftOf->GetBarStyle(); n = 0; n = (dw&CBRS_ALIGN_TOP) ? AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_TOP : n; n = (dw&CBRS_ALIGN_BOTTOM && n==0) ? AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_BOTTOM : n; n = (dw&CBRS_ALIGN_LEFT && n==0) ? AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT : n; n = (dw&CBRS_ALIGN_RIGHT && n==0) ? AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_RIGHT : n;
// When we take the default parameters on rect, DockControlBar // will dock each Toolbar on a seperate line. By calculating a // rectangle, we are simulating a Toolbar being dragged to that // location and docked. DockControlBar(Bar,n,&rect); } Now, in your CMainFrame::OnCreate, instead of using DockControlBar, use DockControlBarLeftOf:
m_wndToolBar1.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY); m_wndToolBar2.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY); EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY); DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar1); DockControlBarLeftOf(&m_wndToolBar2,&m_wndToolBar1); This will dock m_wndToolBar2 left of m_wndToolBar1. |
